This paper presents experimental data on the density of aqueous blends of (2-(methylamino)-ethanol (MAE) + 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP)) and (2-(methylamino)-ethanol (MAE) + N-methyl-diethanolamine (MDEA)) at (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, 318.15, and 323.15) K. This study also presents surface tension data of the aforesaid aqueous amine blends over the temperature range (298 to 323) K. The total amine mass fraction in all solutions was kept within 30 % in view of recent interest in using concentrated amine solutions in gas treating. Density and surface tension data of the ternary mixtures are presented as a function of temperature and amine composition.

Introduction Removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from natural gas and refinery off gases is a very important industrial operation, which necessitates the application as well as promotion of a whole range of alkanolamines starting from monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), di-2-propanolamine (DIPA), N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), 2-amino2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), and very recently piperazine (PZ), 2-piperidineethanol (2-PE), 2-(methylamino)-ethanol (MAE), and 2-(ethylamino)-ethanol (EAE). By varying the relative composition of amines in their aqueous blends to exploit the individual’s merit, an optimum as well as energy efficient absorption system can be designed for a specific application. Specifically, the use of sterically hindered amines in the aqueous blends of amines enhances the capacity and rate of absorption of acid gases with good stripping characteristics and degradation resistance of the formulated solvent.1,2 For the rational design of gas treating processes and its operation, knowledge of the physical properties of process solutions is necessary. A few density data for the (MAE + AMP + H2O) system and density as well as surface tension measurements for the (MAE + MDEA + H2O) system have already been reported in the open literature.3-5 No surface tension data on the (MAE + AMP + H2O) ternary system have been reported to date. In this work, surface tension data of aqueous ternary mixtures of (MAE + AMP) and (MAE + MDEA) at (298, 303, 308, 313, 318, and 323) K have been measured for (MAE)/(MDEA or AMP) mass % ratios of 3/27, 6/24, 9/21, and 12/18. The density of aqueous (MAE + AMP) and (MAE + MDEA) ternary mixtures have been measured in the temperature range of (298.15 to 323.15) K. The total amine concentration was held constant at 30 mass %.

2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP). Distilled water degassed by boiling was used for making the amine solutions. The total amine contents of the solutions were determined by titration with standard HCl using methyl orange indicator. The uncertainty in the composition of the amine solution was estimated as ( 0.007 %. Density. The densities of the amine solutions were measured using a 25.3 mL Gay-Lussac pycnometer. The pycnometer containing the amine solution was immersed in a constanttemperature bath. The bath temperature was controlled within ( 0.05 K of the desired temperature using a circulator temperature controller (Polyscience, USA model No: 9712). The desired temperature of the bath containing amine solutions was also checked with a Pt 100 temperature sensor. Once the solution reached the desired temperature, it was weighed to within ( 0.001 g with an analytical balance. The uncertainty in the measurement of temperature was ( 0.04 K. Each reported density data was the average of three measurements. The average absolute deviations of the density measurements with respect to the results reported in the literature are shown in Table 1. The uncertainty in the measured density was estimated to be ( 7.7 · 10-4 g · cm-3 (expanded uncertainty; for coverage factor k ) 2).

Surface Tension. The surface tension measurement was carried out with a Data Physics tensiometer (model DCAT-11) using a plate-type measurement method. The temperature was controlled within ( 0.3 K of the desired level using a circulator temperature controller. The uncertainty in the measurement of temperature was ( 0.2 K. Each reported value was the average of three measurements. The experimental uncertainty was estimated to be ( 0.35 mN · m-1 (expanded uncertainty; for coverage factor k ) 2).

Results and Discussion To validate the pycnometer and the experimental procedure of the measurement, the densities of pure and of mass fractions (10, 25, 17.8, and 40) % MAE aqueous solutions were measured at (298 to 323) K and compared with the values reported by Alvarez et al.3 and Li et al.5 The density values for aqueous MAE solutions are within a range of ( 0.003 at the interpolated values of Li et al.5 and are presented in Table 1. The average absolute deviation in the density measurements of pure MAE and 17.8 % aqueous MAE solutions in comparison to the data reported by Alvarez et al.3 and Li et al.5 were found to be 0.15 % and 0.12 %, respectively. The measured densities of the solutions of (MAE (1) + AMP (2) + H2O (3)) and (MAE (1) + MDEA (2) + H2O (3)) in the temperature range of (298.15 to 323.15) K are presented in Tables 2 and 3, respectively, keeping the total amine mass percentage constant at 30 % with w as the mass fraction of each individual amine present in the solution. The excess molar volumes were correlated by using the Redlich-Kister (R-K) equation

A general set of temperature-dependent R-K parameters for the (MDEA + H2O) binary system have been developed with a correlation deviation of 0.082 % considering 33 data points taken from Al-Ghawas et al.7 in the temperature range (298.15 to 323.15) K and a MDEA mass fraction range of 0.10 to 0.50, and these are presented in Table 8. The (MAE + MDEA) binary parameters have been developed considering the (MAE + MDEA + H2O) ternary system data generated in this work in the temperature range of (298.15 to 323.15) K keeping the total amine content as 30 % and with a correlation deviation of 0.019 %, which are presented in Table 9. The correlated density by the R-K equation shows an AAD % of 0.46 with respect to the measured ternary density data. Equation 6 correlated the (MAE + MDEA + H2O) density data in a more precise way than the R-K equation, showing a deviation of 0.016 % between the measured density and correlated density. The resulting set of temperature-dependent fitting parameters (eq 6) is reported in Table 10. For the (MAE + MDEA + H2O) system, the comparisons between the measured and correlated density by eq 6 are shown in Figure 2.

of individual amine present in the solution. The surface tension of the ternary mixture (MAE (1) + AMP (2) + H2O (3)) increases with decreasing temperature and increasing mass fraction of MAE in the mixture. The surface tension of the ternary mixture (MAE (1) + MDEA (2) + H2O (3)) increases with decreasing temperature and decreasing mass fraction of MAE in the mixture. There is a small variation in surface tension with the changing relative amine composition for both systems. The experimental surface tension data of ternary (MAE (1) + AMP (2) + H2O (3)) and (MAE (1) + MDEA (2) + H2O (3)) have been correlated with respect to temperature by eq 7 with correlation deviations of 0.29 % and 0.16 %, respectively. The fit parameters for the (MAE (1) + AMP (2) + H2O (3)) and (MAE (1) + MDEA (2) + H2O (3)) systems are presented in Tables 16 and 17, respectively. Figure 5 shows the experimental and correlated surface tension values of the (MAE (1) + AMP (2) + H2O (3)) system with respect to temperature for

deviation between experimental and estimated surface tensions was never greater than 0.3 % (using eq 7).

Conclusions The densities and surface tensions of four mixtures for each of the ternary systems (MAE (1) + AMP (2) + H2O (3)) and (MAE (1) + MDEA (2) + H2O (3)) were measured over the temperature range of (298.15 to 323.15) K for (MAE)/(MDEA or AMP) ratios of 3/27, 6/24, 9/21, and 12/18. The correlated densities and surface tensions with respect to temperature and composition are in excellent agreement with the experimental data. Supporting Information Available:
